Challenges to food security under conditions of global climate change are forcing us to increase crop production to feed the growing population. Focusing on the plant–microbe interactions, represent a promising area in the search for tools to address this challenge. This project aims to develop a three-step- framework that allows researchers to systematically and reproducibly investigate crop microbiomes to enable us to design a ‘Beneficial Biome’, a biologically based solution for improving agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability under constrained conditions, where limited resources are available to fertilize.

全球气候变化条件下的粮食安全挑战迫使我们增加作物产量来养活不断增长的人口，这是寻找应对这一挑战的工具的一个有前景的领域。一个三步框架，使研究人员能够系统地、可重复地研究作物微生物组，使我们能够设计出“有益生物组”，这是一种基于生物学的解决方案，用于在施肥资源有限的受限条件下提高农业生产力和环境可持续性。
